Sister Delphine

Sister Delphine was a French heretical healer who lived in the forest near Paris during the mid-16th century. In 1559, she met the King's Deputy Sebastian de Poitiers when he visited her clinic, where she dressed up as a nun and claimed to have healing powers. She later healed Sebastian after he was mortally wounded by a corrupt noble, and the two of them went on to become lovers. In 1560, during the Siege of Fontainebleau, she was accused of witchcraft after "bewitching" a servant in a pagan ritual, and she was sentenced to burn at the stake. She survived due to the application of an ointment, and she later went on to help revive the sickly Francis II of France. However, she was later murdered by Catherine de Medici's lover Christophe after she discovered that Catherine was behind the murder of Sebastian's mother Diane de Poitiers.
